MILE RHEA.


Mile Rhea will appear as Galatea in the
beautiful play of Pygmalion and Galatea, on
Saturday evening, Sept smber 18th, she will
be supported by her own excellent dramatic
company, and performance of rare merit
can be expected The following from the
Baltimore Sun says of her Galatea
"Last night the great star was a revelation
of beauty and angelic simplicity in the role
of Galatea, the fair maiden whom Pygmalion
carved out of marble, and into whom the
gods breathed human life. As the statue her
form bore striking resemblance to chiselled
marble, and the simple white draperies cling
ing to her perfect figure made her personal
charms all the more rsdiantlv beautiful
Her acting none the less exemplitied the part
and throughout exposed the childlike, unso-
phistcated nature, which might be supposed
to animate grown up human, fresh from
the hands of its Creator. The audience APP
preciated the excellence of her word, ap-
plauding frequently during every act and in
sistlng upon numerous curtain calls"
WILsoN's MINsTRELs.
All lovers of mnstreIcy will attend the
performance of Wilson's Minstrels at Gran
lite Hall this evening as it will be first class
IN every respect, many new and entertain
ing features being introduced. This company
numbers twenty-f artists, and is composed
of first class talent. The Examiner says
The dogs are we'll trained. and show an in
telligence almost human. Some of the small
er ones, dressed in female attire came upon
the stage and waltzed almost to perfection
Their high and long distance leaping was al
so good The performance closed with a
laughable after piece entitled Don't Notice
It," Taken for all in all the company may
be said to rank with the best minstrel and
variety troupe that has visited us for some
years.

Cleaning wooIens in Germany.

Experiments made in Germany on the
best method of cleaning woolens have led
to the following conclusions: First, the
liquid used for washing must be as hot ms
possible; second, for the removal Of greasy
dirt, sweat, etc, borax is of SO little value
that It's application would be mere waste,
and, though soap I've is better, the prefer
ence must be given to soap I've with am
monia, mixture which works wonders
by quickly dissolving dirt In particular
parts which are hard to cleanse, raising
and .reviying even bright colors; third,
that OIL the other hand, for cleaning white
wooden goods there is nothing which even
approaches borax-soap I've and borax,
applied boiling hot, give to white woolens
O looseness and dazzling wilderness
which they often do not possess when
they are new; fourth, II shrinking is to be
entirely avoided the drying must be ac-
CELEBRATED by repeatedly pressing the
woolens between soft cloths. In no case
should the woolens be dried in the sun, as
they become dry and hard, they being best
dried In moderate current of air, and in
cold weather in warm place, but not too
near the source of heat. In the above ex-
.periments all the various degrees of heat
were tried, from the hottest to the coolest
temperature; all the favorite cleaning
materials were also employed--soap,
borax, ammonia, benzine and mixtures of
these. New York Sun.
